Easy Breezy Tile Roof Tear Off

Equipter Tile Roof Tear Off
May 19, 2023 at 3:00 p.m.

By Equipter. 

When using the Equipter 4000, PDF Roofing finds it much easier to tear off tile roofs. 

Florida-based roofing company, PDF Roofing typically does metal roofing jobs. But when they occasionally get tile roofing work, they used to find it hard to tear them off and safely dispose of the debris. Now, they choose the Equipter 4000 to help make tile roof tear-offs as easy as possible.  

PDF puts safety first with Equipter 

Tile roofs are tricky to navigate during tear-off. Jose notes, “You get dust and you get pieces of tile that [the roofers] are always walking over.”  

Uneven surfaces, especially at such heights, pose major safety hazards, increasing the risk of workers comp claims and lost manpower on the job. Even when roofers scrape the tile from the old roof onto the ground, small pieces stay behind.  

With the Equipter, crews are able to safely scrape and brush even the smaller pieces of tile and other debris off the roof into the hydraulic-operated dump container while also keeping the customer’s landscape intact. 

Improved productivity 

By using the Equipter 4000 during the latest tile roof replacement, Jose’s crew cut completion time almost in half. “We saved almost a whole week of labor because the job was a drop and carry. It took us two days to accomplish.” 

With the 4000, Jose was able to add more manpower to the toughest part of the job. “Instead of using two guys on the ground, I was able to use them on the roof, getting ahead on the project.” 

He now highly recommends the self-propelled Equipter to all roofers. The Equipter saved Jose’s crew at least two and a half days on a single job. Imagine how much time it could save your crew!
